This book explores how the Chinese government reasserts its control
and management of public spaces as part of its overall
counter-terrorism strategy. The work focuses primarily on the banal
and alternative forms that China's 'war on terror' takes: the
everyday, non-military, socio-economic and spatio-material. It
presents three different cases of control associated with the
state's effort to manage material, social and digital public spaces
as remedies to terrorism and ethnic unrest in China: the
redevelopment project of Kashgar-the 'home' of Uyghur culture-from
2001 to 2017; the forging of local partnerships with potential
agents (i.e. the local cadres and imams in Xinjiang) as part of the
process of implementing counter-terrorism policies; and an online
campaign about international terrorism that appeared on Sina Weibo.
Using securitization theory as a theoretical framework, the book
establishes links between human geography and critical security
studies and advances the understanding of non-confrontational forms
of resistance in China. It also focuses attention on the binary
relationship between the securitizing agency of the state and the
counter-securitization agency of 'terrorists', while also exploring
the manner in which other societal forces interact with these
processes. This book will be of interest to students of critical
terrorism studies, Chinese studies, human geography, and security
studies.
